Unfortunately my sister's offer wasn't enough. The house was for sale at €485,000. My sister offered €505,000. There were four offers over hers, the winning offer was more than €20,000. So the search goes on.
We do know that De Meern is at the top of our list now. On Wednesday we're going to Gouda, but we're also going to discuss our search area on Sunday. We'll probably narrow it down and places like Gouda and Amersfoort are out.
The furnishing I'll leave mostly to my sister, our tastes our similar and she's got ideas. I'll deal with my room and probably the craft room (which will mostly be Ikea). I just hope we get a house where not much needs to be done in terms of upgrading, because that might be a soap with all the difficulties in getting materials (luckily we know trustworthy builders).
